Wow! (That bit of shock is not for the latest Bond flick, but more about how long it’s been since I’ve gone to the cinema. Rhythmic thumping of feet against the back of my chair from the row behind, o how I’ve missed you. Seriously, I think it will be a meager winter for my…

Fall TV 2008, part 4
Here I was thinking that this fall premiere season was going to be boring simply because all my top shows (Lost, 24, Battlestar Galactica, Medium, Dollhouse, Burn Notice) were not coming until mid-season, but now I’m writing a 4-part post about new and returning shows. Go figure! Well, this will be the last part. There…
Fall TV 2008 (part 3)
It seems like there are a lot of shows to watch this season. Update: Stopped watching 90210 and Knight Rider already; was watching Do Not Disturb (Jerry O’Connell’s hotel-based sitcom) but that’s been cancelled; Privileged and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles are on the bubble. But, True Blood is getting better, and so is Fringe….
Fall TV 2008 (part 2)
Sorry for snoozing a bit while the new fall TV season barrels on. There are quite a number of new and returning shows to recap, so I’ll get right to it: οΎ Smallville – The usual brand of stuff. Frankly, I have no clue where this show is going or has been for the last…
Fall TV 2008 (part 1)
Maybe it’s more after-effects of last season’s writers’ strike, or some other studio strategy (you never know with them) but this fall’s premiere season seems more spread out. Plus, many of my favourite new and returning shows won’t be appearing until 2009 (including Medium, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, 24 and new show Dollhouse). Nevertheless, there’s still…
What I watched on my summer vacation 2008
While year-round programming is still just a quasi-reality (especially if you’re not into reality TV), with DVD seasons and some summer series, the season is no longer a television wasteland. This summer I enjoyed a number of returning shows (and one new one) and I didn’t watch a single person get voted off of anything!…
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor – Movie Review
Returning for the second time this summer season (see also Journey to the Center of the Earth), and for his third time in this role, Brendan Fraser reclaims his mantle as the new B-movie matinee idol by bringing back mummy-hunter Rick O’Connell to the big screen. This time around, not only are they facing a…
X-Files: I Want To Believe – Movie Review
I’ll bet you would not have expected that an X-Files movie would contain neither aliens nor government conspiracies. Even the so-called psychic phenomenon involved in X-Files: I Want To Believe is highly suspect. So why do they need special agent Fox Mulder to come out of hiding so badly that apparently the government is willing…
The Dark Knight – Movie Review
By the time I saw The Dark Knight (which was after about 40 million of you out there had already seen it) the hype had overflowed and I was half expecting to be disappointed, certain that it would not live up to the praise that people were giving it. At first I was a bit…
